I’m delighted to say that on May 24, the paperback edition of The Year the Swallows Came Early will be out on Amazon. You’ll find it in independent and other bookstores after June 1. I’m especially excited about the paperback because it has sixteen pages of EXTRA’s in the back.
There’s a Reader’s Theater, taken from one of the chapters, which has lines for six readers/students to perform. In addition, you’ll find information about the swallows and their annual migration, as well as discussion questions, a recipe for chocolate covered strawberries, and an interview with me. (My favorite question is the one about my dog, Holly.)

There’s also the new paperback cover, drawn by Erwin Madrid, which I am so extremely pleased with.

I’m giving away five signed copies of the paperback. If you’d like one, please leave a comment, along with your address, and I’ll get it out to you right away.
